LinksVendors who frequent our launches,
members' rocketry pages,
and a few others of rocketary interest.

Welcome to NEFAR! Whoare we?
NEFAR is a group of dedicated rocketeers who have organized
to make good launch opportunities available to ourselves and other
responsible flyers. NEFAR is is affiliated with the
National Association of Rocketry (Section #563) and
Tripoli
Rocketry Association (TRA Prefect #35). Who can attend?
All interested rocketeers, their families, and any other
rocketry-friendly responsible persons are welcomed. You don't
have to be a member to attend a NEFAR launch or fly your rockets there.
(You DO need appropriate NAR or TRA certification to fly high-power rockets. Flying low-power and mid-power rockets up to "G" impulse does not require certification.) What do we do? We hold low,
mid, and high power rocket launches (A - M impulse motors) at the Clegg
sod farm near Bunnell, FL. The field is FAA waivered for high power
rockets flying up to 2,000', with call in for "windows" to higher altitudes up to 10,000 feet.
We
collaborate with a number of schools, colleges, and civic groups to
facilitate and promote the use of rocketry for educational,
recreational, and research purposes. When?
Our launches are on the second Saturday of each month, with
two-day launches (Saturday and Sunday) in April and November.
Launches usually start about 10:00am and close at 3:00pm in the
winter, 5:00pm in the summer. Where? At the Clegg Sod Farm near Bunnell, FL. See the Launch Site page for details. Why?
Because it's fun! Exciting! It is also highly
educational, recreational, and a great way to meet smart people.
To see what it is like, check out our Gallery (It's way better in person!)
How do I get started?
Come to a launch! Or if you prefer, contact the webmaster
or one of the NEFAR officers to discuss your rocketry interests, and
how NEFAR might facilitate your rocketry plans. We adhere to strict rules of safety and legality,
and require that our guest flyers do likewise. Following the
rules allows us to launch large and exciting rockets to high altitudes.

News Flash...September launch scrubbed!
Sad but necessary news: With Irma bearing down on us, the Saturday launch is cancelled.

Here's the offical word from the prez:

Ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid the launch this Saturday has been
scrubbed. The field is already saturated and the coming weather will
only make the situation worse. Please spread the word so everyone is
aware we are standing down. Be safe.

Greg LukachRadio Frequencies ListNEFAR
has purchased a PR-100 radio location system for its members to use.
The club owns three transmitters, which members can borrow for
their flights. Some members have elected to purchase their own
transmitters. Also, several have purchased Eggtimer transmitters.
Jason Cook has thoughtfully compiled a list of the frequencies
used by these transmitters, so that any new purchases will not conflict
with those already owned by the club or its members. It should
also help determine which transmitters can be used simultaneously.
So if you have a transmitter and would like it to be entered into
this page, please let us know.Please do not use 418mHz at NEFAR launches
If
you are planning to use telemmetry at a NEFAR launch, try to avoid using the
radio frequency 418 megaHertz as it is the same frequency used by our new wireless
launch control system. Problems could ensue.
